Introduction

Hello, and welcome to Crafty Kim's channel! In this tutorial, I'll show you how to create a cute Snoopy head applique. This is a perfect project for the seventh day of the 12 days of Christmas. Whether you want to use it as an ornament, a scarf, or a doily centerpiece, this Snoopy head applique is sure to add a festive touch to your holiday decorations. So, let's get started!

Materials Needed

Before we begin, gather the following materials:

• Crochet hook
• Tapestry needle
• White worsted weight yarn
• Black yarn for the nose and ears

Step 1: Making the Magic Circle

To start, we'll create a magic circle. This will serve as the base for our Snoopy head applique. Chain up three, which will count as the first double crochet. Then, add 11 more double crochets into the magic circle, resulting in a total of 12 double crochets. Close the magic circle and slip stitch into the third chain to secure the round.

Step 2: Adding Double Crochets

In round two, chain up three to begin. Add one double crochet in each stitch all the way around, resulting in a total of 24 double crochets. Slip stitch into the third chain to close the round. This will provide the necessary width for Snoopy's head.

Step 3: Creating the Snoopy Nose

Now, let's create Snoopy's iconic nose. Chain up three and add a double crochet in the same chain space. In the next chain space, add a triple treble, followed by a double crochet in the next stitch. To give Snoopy's nose some dimension, add an extra half double crochet in the following two stitches. Then, add another half double crochet in the next stitch and finish with a single crochet and a slip stitch in the next stitch. Fasten off and admire Snoopy's adorable nose!

Step 4: Making the Ears

To create Snoopy's ears, chain one and insert your hook into the second chain from the hook. Then, add two double crochets in the same chain space. In the next chain space, add half double crochets all the way down. This will form Snoopy's ears, making them stand out.

Step 5: Adding the Eyes and Eyebrow

Now it's time to give Snoopy some personality by adding his eyes and eyebrow. Using black yarn, create two small circles for the eyes. Then, add an eyebrow above each eye. Stitch them securely to the head using a tapestry needle.

Conclusion

Congratulations! You have successfully created a charming Snoopy head applique. This versatile piece can be used as an ornament, a scarf attachment, or even a doily centerpiece. Get creative and find the perfect spot for Snoopy in your holiday decor. Thank you for joining me on this project, and I hope you enjoy making Snoopy as much as I did!
